WanufarMt*^ Armr »•>«** l ' f,w 0r ' n “' , ‘ The New Orleans Crescent says: The present revolution is continually develop ing the resources and enterprise of the people of the South, ami the citizens of Nc«" Orleans particularly. During the past four or live months, we have noticed the establishment in the city, of manu factories for the production of various ar ticles, for which, in former times, we were entirely dependent upon the Kortli or Europe. These establishments are all in successful operation, and are paying as well as could be possibly expected. Others are in the course ot erection, and, if things continue like they are a few months longer, there will be few articles consumed here which will not be made by our own peo- ple. We called a few days since at the house of Messrs. E. Maiqucze & Co., shoe merchants of Canal street, and, on being informed that they had started manufactur ing shoes suited to the wants of the army, we expressed a desire to witness the op eration in all its departments and were politely shown through the house. The manufacturing is done in the second and third floors of their large building, and a busy place it is sure enough. In the second floor we found some fifteen or twenty men engaged in cutting the leather into shape, and preparing the upper leathers for the bottoms. They worked rapidly and skill fully, turning out work enough each day to keep up with the hands engaged in finish ing up stairs. In the next floor, however, we saw the most interesting sight. There we found some sixty or seventy men, sitting round low tables, upon which lay the working tools of their craft, hammering, cutting, pegging and trimming away with a rapid, orderly kind of confusion, which would convince even the most inexperienced observer that they were up to their work, and bent on making the most out of each day. Here we saw the. upper leather and and soles, which were cut out down stairs, rapidly stretched over lasts of different sizes, pegged, hammered and trimmed into handsome and serviceable shoes in so short a space of time tiiat the beholder could liardly believe his eyes. Observing the great number of small wooden pegs in the bottom of shoes, one would suppose that it was a tedious opera tion to place them there so smoothly and and regularly, but we were undeceived by the skillful artizans who were at work here. We watched one, and seeing him about to commence the pegging operations, drew out our watch and timed him. In exactly eight minutes he had finished putting in two rows of pegs in a pair of shoes, and that, too, without knowing that we were timing his work; if lie had. perhaps he would have finished in much less time. In this room over two hundred pairs of shoes are finished, ready for sale, each day.— These shoes are strong and stout, made of well tanned leather, and come up high on the leg to prevent accidents to the ankle, and hav c double soles to keep oufejKe wet. To Mr. McMaster is principally due the credit or» , ani»-** T o this manufactory.— lie saw the scarcity of lit army shoes in the market, and determined to make the attempt to supply the demand by a home production. At first sight the magnitude of such an undertaking does not appear, but when it is considered that material is to be supplied in large quantities and with regularity, in a section where leather is scarce, and few tanneries exist; that work men are to be procured that can be de pended upon, and who are skillful in that particular kind of work, it will be then understood that Mr. McM. had to en counter obstacles which were calculated to somewhat daunt his enterprise; but he weut with a good heart and a determina tion to succeed, and his present success is proof that lie was up to the emergency. To procure leather it was necessary to go to Texas and established tanneries or make permanent contracts with those that were established, and to procure labor, to a cer tain extent, he had to teach the trade to every man he employed. But he did all this, and is now producing as good a shoe as was ever offered in the market, at figures as low as those brought by an in ferior article. We are glad to be able to state, too, that he finds no difficulty in selling. In fact, such is the demand for his shoes that he is forced to make pur chasers wait sometimes before lie can fill their orders. [From the Columbus Corner Stone ] Mill Harping upon Party. The Macon Journal & Messenger seems disposed to complain that Judge Starnes has been appointed Tax Collector for Georgia, instead of Judge Cabiness, and thinks that too many old Democrats are appointed. What’s the difference? Don’t we all belong to the same party? Every body says so. Why the way to keep up old party distinctions is to appoint one man, because lie was an old Whig, and another because be was an old Democrat. Now suppose Davis bad acted upon this principle and appointed Cabii.ess because he was an old Whig, Starnes would have complained that he was excluded because he was an old Democrat. It would Lave been very cold comfort to him that some other old Democrat had been appointed to some other office. All the old Whigs and all the old Democrats belong to Davis’ party, he can’t give office to ail of them, at least lie can’t give all of them offices with a salary of two thousand dollars a year; we expect lie can accommodate most of them with a place at eleven dollars a month. As to the offices with large salaries he must select those of his party who in his opinion are best qualified to discharge the duties of the office and if he does this nobody has any right to complain. But why should the Journal & Mes senger complain? It and Davis and Cabi ness and Starnes all belong to the same party. One of its party has been selected, a gentleman every way competent and faithful. Now we did not care a straw which of those two men were appointed, or whether it had been somebody else, we should have been satisfied with Cabiness, we are satisfied with Starnes, we don’t care if Davis makes all Bis appointments from old Whigs, or old Democrats. But the whole truth of the matter after all is, that tbere is a great mistake in sup posing there are no parties. There is just as much party as there ever was; the old Whig party was worn out, the Democratic party bad grown so large that while it bad in addition to its own, absorbed all the cor ruptions of the old Whig party; the spoils had not increased in proportion. The power of the party and consequently the disposition of the spoils was concen trated in a few hands and of course a large portion of the party was as much cutoff as if they had belonged to the opposi tion. The dissolution of the Union of course destroyed all rdd party organizations at the South, hut it did not destroy the desire for power and its emoluments. Every body of course claims to belong to the big party, but there are in it a dozen parties each trying to get to the top. Whenever it is finally settled who is the gang that is safely seated and feels strong enough to kick all the rest off. why then, of course, there will be two big parties. Now what is the remedy for all this? The complaint of the Journal & Mes senger against the appointment of Starnes makes it all as plain as day. Reduce all the salaries. There are a thousand men in Georgia every way as competent as either of these gentlemen who would be willing to do the work and would do it as I After being in the water for a long time, well and as faithfully for half the salary i he landed and crawled three-fourths of a and if the salary Were one thousand dol- j mile to a house.

Now is the time for the people to move in the matter of the reduction of them. Let us now require of the members of the Legislature to reduce every salary- of the State officers, and as members of Congress are soon to be elected, let no man be elected, who will not advocate tlia reduc tion of those of the Confederacy. Proclamation by A. N. Johnston. Columbus, Ky-„ Sept Sept. 22, 18G1. Whereas the armed occupation of a part of Kentucky by- the United States, and the preparations which manifest the intention of their government to invade the Confed erate States through that territory, have imposed it upon these last, as a necessity of self-defense, to enter that State and meet the invasion upon the best line of military- operations; ami whereas, it is proper that the motives of the government of the Con federate States in taking this step should be fully- known to the world: Now, therefore, I, Alberts. Johnston, General and Commander of the Western Depart ment of the Army of the Confederate States of America, do proclaim that these States have thus marched their troops into Kentucky with no hostile intention toward its people; nor do they- desire to seek to control their choice in regird to their union with either of the Confederacies, or to subjugate tlieir State or hold i's soil ' against their wishes. On the contrary, ! they deem it to be the right of the people of Kentucky to determinate their own po sition in regard to the belligerents. It is | for them to say whether they will join ei ther Confederacy, or maintain a separate I existence as an independent sovereign | State. The armed occupation of tlieir soil, i both as to the extent and duration, will therefore be strictly- limited by the exigen- ' cies of self-defense on the part of the Con federate States. These States intend j to conform to all the requirements of pub lic law and international amity, as be- j tween themselves and Kentucky-, and ac- ; cordingly 1 hereby- command all who arc ! subject to my orders, to pay entire respect ! to the rights of property- and the legal au- j thorities within that State so far astlie same j may be compatible with the necessities of : self-defense. If it be the desire of the people of Ken tucky to maintain a strict and impartial | neutrality, then the efforts to drive out the lawless intruders, who seek to make their j State the theatre of v.-rr will aid them in | the attainment nf tlieir '.visiles. If, as it | may not be uur* .sona 1 -■* to suppose, these ! people desire to unite their fortunes with : :tie Confederate States to whom they are ’ already bound by so nuny ties of interest, ! then the appearance of Confederate troops will assist them to make an opportunity I for the free and unbiased expression of | their will upon the subject. But. if it be true, which is not to be presumed, that a majority of these people desire to adhere to the United States, and become parties to the war, then none can doubt the right of the other belligerents to meet that war, whenever and wherever it may be waged. But harboring no such suspicion, I now de clare in the name of the Government which I serve, that its army- shall be withdrawn from Kentucky so soon as there shall be satisfactory evidence of the existence and execution of a like intention on the part of the United States. By- order of the President of the Con federate States of America. A. S. JOHNSTON, General Commanding the Western De partment of the Army of the Confed erate States of America.

We had an interview last night with Adjutant Geo. W. Alexander at the Pow hatan Hotel, where lie arrived yesterday from Gen. Johnston’s head-quarters. His escape and subsequent adventures are equal to a French romance. After Colonel Thomas and Alexander bad captured the St. Nicholas, they started upon another expedition; and by- one of those unaccountable accidents the Colonel was captured. Alexander was at this time in charge of a schooner, steering boldly up the Chesapeake. The weather came on squally and very bad; and seeing suspic ious movements among some steamers, lie concealed his men in the hold of the ves sel, placed his brother-in-law at the helm, and he himself on deck disguised as an oys- terman, he ran into Annapolis and anchor ed under Fort Seveni. At daylight got under way and stood over to Chester river. Here a terrific gale threw his little craft high upon Eastern Neck Island. lie then, in disguise, boarded the steamer “Arrow,” got the papers and saw the account of the Colonel’s airest, then placed the main body of his men under the charge of Lieu tenant Blackiston, with orders to him to make the best ofbis way to Virginia, across the Bay and through Calvert coun ty; which Blackiston succeeded nobly in doing. Alexander then, with his brother- in-law and two men, started for Accomac, down the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Everything went on swimmingly until he arrived at Cambridge, where, one of the party being recognized by Judge Spence, I that Washing! and lie being a relative, Monteithlike, JuXLffaire; i* proved a traitor and infoimed on them. In 1 a short time Governor Hicks ordered out the Dorchester Guards; the hotel was sur rounded, and they were taken in custody, dragged to the common jail, placed in a room, and kept until morning. I hen close The next day a man of war was hauled into the river, and fired guns for a long time to raise Alexander’s body supposing he must have beeu drowned. Alter this, friends of the cause in Maryland conveyed him from place to place by night for con cealment, until at last lie was carried to the shore of the Potomac. Here, by the merest accident, lie fell in with Lieut. Du- nott, who had escaped from M ashington, and George Bear, a young man who was making his way to Portsmouth; Li. Al exander purchased a boat. Dunott ami Bear carried him on their shoulders a mile. Bear tore off liis coat-skirts and muffled the oars, and although the guard vessel was within 150 yards, they quietly pushed oft and succeeded in reaching the A irginia shore in safety. A man, taking the boat for remuneration, carried them in bis con veyance to Gen. Johnston’s pickets. Alexander speaks very feelingly of bis friend Lieut. Dunott, who while bearing him on his back, at every alarm turned to face the danger, thus showing the devotion of one soldier to another. [From the London times ] Impossibility of Restoring tlie i'nion. Were England at this moment to announce lo the world its intention lo make the speediest possible conquest of France, or were France to make the same declaration as to England, the world would laugh al the egregious folly that had inspired the design and prompted the boast. The world would grant that, supposing either people lo bo infatuated enough and obstinate enough, it could inflict enormous and irreparable injuries on the other, but only at the cost of equal injuries to itself. The ball once started, fortune might befriend this side or that; it might give to either great victories on periods of advantage: it might even place one eventually over the lipad of the other, hut still only at a cost utterly out of pro portion to the value of the miserable result. Now. that is the case of the two Confederacies across the Atlantic, where the surviving half of an effete Federal Union has undertaken to reduce to other half to its Federal duties. We say that this is the case, hut before we pro ceed a step further, it is necessary to observe that the case of tire Northern Americans is in some important respect more difficult then ours would be They are not so united as we have always found ourselves in war. Their lJorder States teol a divided allegiance. They have to protect more than a thousand miles of land frontier, including one closely be leaguered porition surrounded by foes or ill-affected adherents. Speaking the same language as their foe, they have no means of ex cluding spies from their lines, or even traitors from their ranks. They have to make a standing army and a fleet. '1 hey have to learn the first elements of tactics, and even military discipline. They are without soldiers, or officers to command and train them. Their revenue, at its best, before the war. was only just sufficient to meet the inter est of the debt likely to be incurred by two ye : rs of the war ou its present scale. That revenue, however is, to begin with, maimed by the loss of the seceders and by-the stoppage of traffic, so fhat it is questionable whether it will be possible to do more than repair that luss by the new taxes now imposed. Am lican credit is r.ot so good as British nor is the credit ot a Federal Union in process of dis solution lisely to be equal to that of a united peo ple Lastly, war. which changes its character according to circumstances, establishes special rules of probability for different localities. The one rule established by all American warfare is, that the advantage is on the side of defence. Our offensive operations always failed against fortified position; against breastworks thrown up in a night, against forest full of an invisible foe; against lieat, hunger and thirst; against the evil imminent flank attack; against the certainly that every step di minished the numbers tbestrength, and the muni tions of our men, and increased those of the ene my. The present war might, for ils incidents, he a chapter in our own disastrous cars on that soil. Northerners have advanced upon a fortified position but a day’s march from Washington. They have arrived at the point, with a force already melting away, far short of the list on paper, beaten with heat, hunger, thir-t, and a iong march, and sur prised on both flanks by the sudden outpourings »f railways. While this has occured in Virginia, almost w ithin sight of Washington, a column of Federalists, advancing against a foe thrice tlieir number, has met with the same fate, no doubt lor much the same reason, at Springfield four or five hundred miles to the West—as if in order to warn the Northern States that what has happened is no accident, no result of p< culiar cir cumstance or personal failure, hut by inevitable rule. There is but one enterprise which can he com pared to this, and that is the first Napoleon’s gi gantic, but infatuated attempt upon Russia. That was a case of a great political alliance, as grand as a Federal Union, comprising the best, the wealthiest, and the most populous part, and the best soldiers on the continent of Europe, advan cing into a territory, the sparse and poor popula tion of which scarcely surpassed that of the inva ding host. Winter might be the immediate cause out it was also the apology of the tremendous rout that ensued. If any one will attempt to com pare the means of the Federalists with those of Napoleon, he will find then: far inferior in every respect; while there is no doubt that the South ern States are far more able to defend every point, every position, every line in their territory, than the Russians were in theirs. They have moun tain. oils ranges instead ot steppes: they have a population accustomed to carry arms, and only too glad to use them; they have railways, and abundance of food and other necessaries of war. They are evidently superior in generalship, and in the social organization best adapted for war. The result is that thus far they have shown tiiey can dispute every inch,and keep the invaders always under tlie apprehension of being either out flanked or driven back upon his own capital. Against all this it can only be said that the Northern States have the preponderance in white men, in money and in credit.— These, indeed, would he important considerations if the Southern States were invading the Northern, and seriously preparing to drive every armed Northerner into the St Lawrence. They would he important if this were the ordinary case of two countries at war with one another. But it is not. The Northerners are engaged in the reduction of the Southerners.---They are acting on the offensive against a foe which on ils own land, is content to net ou the defensive, excepting only that, should the opportunity occur, it would ad vance its line ef defence to include the capital. Expe rience shows that under ordinary circumstances a com parative small population, with little money and means of war, issuflicleut for a very good defence. in a condition to offer advice. We can ad- V\< vise tiicNorthern States of America, as we can ad vise the legitimate Princes and the despotic Courts of Europe.

The advice was given them is wliat they have taught us before, and we only say to them, as many a son may say to his father, “Practice what you teach.” Let the Nirtbern States “accept the situation,” as we did ly guarded, they were conveyed to the cughty years ago upon tlieir own soil; as Austria did two ...1 e • J -i | years ago at V illatraneaand Zurich.

I thought 1 was in your hands.” Here the crowd attempted a rescue; but, overpowered by numbers, Alexander was borne on board the steamer and conveyed to Fort McHenry.

Zarvona (I hornas) engaged the attention of the sen tinel, he slipped by, gained the ramparts, passed over the inortar battery, and sprang from the curtain into the ditch. The fall being great, he discovered, on rising, that he was crippled. Nothing daunted, he crawled through the abatt is, over the gla cis, into the river, inflated his waistcoat, and made a bold stroke for freedom. armed men a thousand miles across their own country into the Gull’of Mexico.—Let them consider whether they can do what Napoleon could not do in the plcnti- tude of hi.--power with many times tlieir number, tlieir stores, tlieir credit.and, above all, their military skill and experience, bis school of Generals, and his supply of veterans.

The Day Book extracts from n copy of the New York Herald, of the 24th, placed in the hands of the editors by a gentleman who reached Norfolk on Thursday after, oon in the “flagef truce boat ’ from Old Point. THE SITUATION. From the New York Herald, of the 21th. Official information of the capture of Lexing ton. Mo., and the surrender of the gallant Col. Mulligan to the rebel forces of General Price, reached the War Department yesterday; and as no contradiction of the report comes from any other quarter, we are unwillingly compelled to receive it as authentic. Gen. Prentiss has dis patched to St. Louis a statement of the surrender, which reduced the loss ol- both sides considera bly below the first reports. Col. Mulligan held out bravely for four days against immense odds ; and it is said only surrendered for want of water, without which his men had to maintain themselves for two days ; but there seems to he something in this statement not quite consistent with the po sition he occupied in close proximity to the Mis souri liver. According to our advices, his fortifications were erected between the old and new towns, and ex tended down to tlie river bluffs, at which point, as far as our intelligence extends, the defences were not assailed. How. then, bis water supply could have b* en cut off, we arc at a loss to determine. The latest accounts from Lexington, previous to the announcement of the snraender, report the movements of reinforcements to sustain Col. Mul ligan, both by land and water. The steamers White Cloud and Des Moines went up tbe river on Saturday with three regiments to assist the garrison at Lexington, and a force of 3.500 men, he praise which the world awards to Generals | infautry, cavalry and artillery, and left St. Jo- Johuston and Beauregard in connection with tlie j seph and Chillicothe, on the 15th inst., for the battle of Manassas and the movements preparatory same point; hut it appears none of their rein- to that engagement, is enhanced by their cordial | torcements arrived in time to save the garrison, and generous conduct towards each other, and j which undoubtedly was compelled to yield to the now much the confidence now reposed in them is j immensely superior torce of the rebels. The promptness and energy of the Missourians, now that they have taken the*fie!d in earnest, may well put to shame better equipped armies uni better prepared people. From the time when tlie lawlul Governor was a fugitive from ids home, and the few men the Sta’e authorities could muster were driven to the State line and even in to Aikausas—when Lyon was indeed a roaring •ion, and Zcigel thought that his “seal must be placed upon tlie mouth of every man who dared to sympathize with tiie South,—from that time to this ihe change has been remarkable, and Car.li age, and Gait Hill, aud Lexington have done even more towards breaking ihe prestige and lowering the hopes of the Lincoluite iu the Great 7 alley of the West, than even the gallant actions ot Bethel, Bull Run and Manassas have effected in the East. Well indeed has the gallant Price offsett the raid upon Hatteras. Well will the gain of thousands of small arms, numbers ot cannon, heaps ot am munition and stores and much gold pay foi the comparatively tew prisoners, small military stores and provisions, and meagre array of guns captured at Hatteras. But this does not yet wipe out or avenge Hat teras for North Carolinia, save indirectly ; but it does teach us the lesson that in cordial co-opera tion and g md feeling lie the main elements of success, aud in their absence lurk all the dangers of defeat and failure. It is useless to disguise the fact that something has been wrong iu Western Virginia, that at no time has there been a lull aud fair and heartfelt co-operation and sympathy be tween the different Confederate commanders iu that section. Tin re would appear to have really been no concerted movements, or if the plans for movements were concerted, some hitch has al ways deranged the projected combinations. The Rich Mountain and Laurel Hill disasters were oc casioned most probably by the ’causes to which we have alluded, since communications were not kept up between the force under Col. Pegram and that under General Garnett. We tear that the retiograde movements seem ing to be inevitable now in Western Virginia, are only so from the lack of active concert there.— 1’liey might have assumed a different character under the inspiration of better feeling, we must think. However.Gov. Wise has withdrawn from that section, and ha and Gov. Floyd need no longer be jealous o( or unwilling to contribute to the honor or glory or each other, and ue do trust that all our commanders wiil remember how much due to the perfect harmony aud good feeling known to exist between them [ It timing ton Juttrnal.

The sentiment all over Tennessee (inclutlitig Fast Tennessee.) is splendid. Every man in the State appears anx ious and ready to fight. Indeed the applications of men to go into tlie war keep far ahead of the ability of the government to arm them. There will he no “backward movement” there.— The fighting wilt no doubt be very hard, but the people of Tennessee have no donbt of the result, they only complain of the slowness of the Con federate government; they want to push ahead t he writer adds as his own opinion that that is cur OXI.Y safe policy.— Wilmington Journal. It is to bo, feared that jealousies between leaders of the Confederate troops in West ern Virginia have impaired their useful ness, however patriotic or gallant they may have been personally. It may be questioned whether tlie history of the mil itary movements on the Central-Western line of the Kanawha exhibit as cordial a co-operation between Ex-Governors Wise and Floyd as the friends of the cause and of these gentlemen could have desired.— it is likely that the existence of this state of things explains the presence of Genera! Wise in Richmond, and his withdrawal or retirement from service in the Western portion of the State. It is more than probable that bis future field of labor will be in the East.—'Wilmington Journal. Let them cross the Potomac »o as to prevent Mc Clellan from throwing himself upon Baltimore, arid the Marylanders will do the rest. The war feeling at the North is said to have subsided. Commerce is prostrated, and business at an end. Iu Pennsylvania particularly, the struggle between the war and peace parties is very excited. How long shall Maryland languish under the foot of the invader ? The news from the South, he says, is conveyed over the liver to Washington, by the wives of the tories who have fled from Virginia, and are acting as Lincoln’s police on ihe Maryland shore. T hese women aie strangely allowed to communicate with their husbands and thus post them with the Southern news. The nert Great Battle.— Bennett Preparing fur de feat.—The Herald of Wednesday, says : A terrible battle is at hand between the 400,- 000 troops on the banks of tho Potomac—200,- (IO(i on eilher side—a battle which will be greater than that of Wateiloo, and will probably be decesive against the party which loses it. The mighty results depending on it will involve the destiny of the people ot this continent, and per haps of modern civilization. If there should he a partial defeat of the Federal army, let the abo lition leaders who instigated tlie rebellion aud the war—Phillips, Garrison, Greeley, Beecher, Chee- ver, Tappan, Joy, and their associates—look out for another country, as this will be too hot to hold them. If there should be a total deteat of the Federal army, together with the capture of Wash ington, let the anti slavery demogogues, who for the last thirty years have been stirring up the em bers of strife, which resulted in the Southern re volt, look out as fast as they can for somo asylum beyond the limits of the American continent, for this is the only way in which they can consult the safety of their imperilled necks. A word to Planters.—A leading factor in this city informs us that be lias just re ceived eight bales of cotton, and is utterly at a loss what disposition lie shall make of it. We advised him to ship it back to tbe consigner as there is no sale for it here, and it can be insured fofia less sum on the plantation than in tbe city; and lastly, and it is tbe most important consid- j by Henry Broadburu, oueof . 1 . , Col. Mulligan s soldiers, who left Lexuigtou on The Seige and ihe Surrender of Lexington. The Ioilowing account of the siege of Lexing ton. (says the Herald,) is furnished to the St. eration, we again assure the planters and interior buyers that it is folly to ship cot ton to tbe sea-board; it will not be sold, and, what is worse, it may be tbe last they Saturday morning: The fort was sutrendered on Friday afternoon. The men fought tor fifty-nine hours without wa ter, and hail only three bbls. of vinegar to quench ! their thirst. During all that time there were no will hear of it. Keep it on ^tlie plantation j springs or wells of water in the camp ground, and you will find insurance in any of the j has been stated. The supply of water was en- 1 tirely from the river. There were breastworks all cities. In this connection we refer to tbe card of Messrs. Wilber & Gleason, who have arrangements to take all such risks. Savannah Rejtublican Sept. 27. TIIE BUBOFEAX COALITION AGAINST MEXICO. The London Shipping Gazelle of the 11th, con tains the following in relation to the position and disposition of Europe—particularly England and France—towards Mexico: The expectation that a combined Anglo-Freneh naval and military expedition is to be immediately organized, to obtain redress for the indignities and injuries inflicted on British and French inter ests in Mexico, is regarded w ith satisfaction by all who have watched the painful consequences of the toleration so long show n to the various govern ments in that, country. It is reported that Spain also is anxiously desirous of some respectatde ad justment, that, it may put an end lo the prevailing horrors: and the'private letters last received from Mexico, reiterate the assertion that foreign inter vention is prayed for by the whole, population, with the exception of military or political robbers, by whom the existing anarchy has been created.— Under the circumstances, too. it is assumed that the Federal Cabinet at Washington will ho dis posed cordially to co-operate in the work, so that it shall permanently conc iliate ali rational elaims Whether the question is to he dealt with by the general combination wlrieh seems thus in prospect, or by England and France alone, it is evident that further delay is at an end. It is surmised in some quarters that it is the ob ject ot the two powers to have a strong force in the Mexican waters, and thus take, advantage of any contingency that may arise during the pend ing conflict between the Northern and Southern States. Engagement on the Potomac—Tiro Federal I cs- srls Disabled.—Intelligence w as received here yes terday, through official eliaunels, of an engage ment on Wednesday between one of our batteries on the Botoinac and a number of Federal vessels, w hich were descending the river for the purpose, it is supposed, of making a reconnoissauce. The action occurred off Evnnsport.—some distance around the camp, with the exception of the portion next tho river. It was he.e that the hardest fight ing took place Toe rebels procured a large number of hemp bales and rolled them in advance, and under this cover gradually succeeded in securing a positiou in the rear. They then cut off the supply of wa ter, and hud the fort surrounded. They made hut few charges upon the breast works during the entire siege. Their object seemed to be to surround the fort and cut off the supply of water, and, having succeeded in this, they waited until Col. Mnliigau was compelled to yield to a force more terrible than the 27,000 rebels who surrounded him. After the surrender tho rebels mounted the breastworks and seemed mad with joy and de light. Alter the surrender the rebels took down the Union flag and trailed it in the dust. An immense amount of gold, supposed to be about a quarter of a million of dollars, fell into the possession oI the rebels. It was taken from the banks and buried by Col. Mulligan in the camp ground some time ago, but tlie rebels speedily discovered and unearthed it. Col. Mulligan wept like a child when he found himself compelled to surrender. Tlie morning after the men were all released on parole and sent across the river. The officers were retained. The first attack of the rebels proved more dis astrous lo them than the long siege that followed. For a day or two previous to the last attack they were busily enaged in burying tlieir dead. Latest.—Gen. Price had. on Saturday, 14th, given Col. (Acting General) Mulligan until Mon day to surrender, or take tho alternative of battle. The object of Gen. Price was not so much in giv ing the Uuion troops a chance to surrender as to enable Gen. Rains and his rebel forces, together with a number of smaller bodies of marauders under Martin Green and others, all of whom were matching, from various sources, to join him — Price’s force must, therefore, have been enlarged to about 17,1'tW. In the commencement of the siege he had about >3,000. The Union force con sisted of about 3,500. Drafting for the Federal army was to have com menced iu Iowa on the 23d, so says a Chicago ATrsso&iVsr.

Speaking on tbe subject, of Lincoln’s proclama tion about Fremont, the Herald says: Genera! Fremont ought to have aided the Pres ident in Missouri. Instead of that he become a source of weakness and embarrassment to him. When lie entered upon his duties in that State the rebels bad been swept out as chaff before the wind. But now more tlinn half the State has been recon quered by the Confederate arms. Disaster affer disaster has befallen our arms there. The death of LyoD, and the retreat from Sprinfield caused from want of those reinforcements which Gen Fremont ought to have sent, are now followed up by the still more disastrous capture of Lexington from the same cause, including the loss of 3,500 of the best troops, who were sacrificed by neglect, the gain of all their small arms, artillery, ammuni tion, and equipage, together with three thousand horses to the cause ot the rebels, to say nothing of tbe moral effect of such a misfortnne. that effect having been issued ou Saturday, the 21st.
